My antivirus software is telling me the operating system on my Galaxy S8 has been compromised putting my data at risk.
It also says contact the manufacturer for a solution, I can't find any info about security breaches after 2021, anybody got any ideas what I should do about this ?

Hi @Supermario ,

Just to add that the S8 is no longer on the Support list and the last security patch is dated April 2021. There was a fix issued "G95*FXXUCDVG4 "in August 2022 but changelog only mentioned that GPS stability had been improved.

I do not work for Samsung or make Samsung Products but provide independent advice and valuable contributions.
